Objective: Although family-centred care (FCC) is recommended in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), barriers still exist. This study aimed to identify and understand and nurse-related factors contributing to the implementation of a father-friendly NICU (FF-NICU).
Methods: Eleven pre- and post-implementation focus groups were conducted with 21 nurses. Data were analysed using meaning condensation.
Results: Four pre-implementation themes emerged: 1) fathers' limited presence, 2) worries, vulnerability, and emotions, 3) types of fathers, and 4) involvement of fathers.Eight themes contributed to the implementation of FF-NICU: 1) Advantage for the infant/family, 2) Presence of fathers, 3) Less work for the nurses, 4) Daily work routines, 5) Taking something from the mother, 6) Different approaches, 7) Creativity and flexibility, and 8) Implementation process.
Conclusion: Important for the implementation of FF-NICU were that the change was necessary, advantageous for the nurses, and beneficial for the families. Still, nurses needed to be flexible and creative in the care of the fathers/families.
Innovation: This study focused on fathers - an underexposed target group. Examining key factors for those executing the intervention and discussing the findings using the theoretical framework of John P. Kotter's implementation strategy, we contribute to a better understanding of implementation processes.

Dysregulation of neural tube vascular development as an aetiological factor in autism spectrum disorder: Insights from valproic acid exposure.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition affecting a substantial number of children globally, characterized by diverse aetiologies, including genetic and environmental factors. Emerging research suggests that neurovascular dysregulation during development could significantly contribute to autism. This review synthesizes the potential role of vascular abnormalities in the pathogenesis of ASD and explores insights from studies on valproic acid (VPA) exposure during neural tube development.

Treating substance use disorders is difficult as individuals often resume substance use during abstinence. One potential factor contributing to the recurrence of substance use is incubation of drug craving. Specifically, individuals report higher levels of craving when presented with drug-paired stimuli across abstinence, although this effect is largely absent in opioid-dependent individuals.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent and challenging neurodegenerative disorder, and may involve impaired autophagy. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is crucial for regulating autophagy-related genes, maintaining cellular homeostasis. Electroacupuncture (EA), a complementary and alternative therapy for PD, has gained widespread clinical application.

Riverine physical and chemical characteristics are influencing ecosystem integrity while shaping and impacting species richness and diversity. Changes in these factors could potentially influence community structuring through competition, predation and localised species extinctions. In this study, eight sampling sites over multiple seasons were assessed along the streams draining the City of Nelspruit, South Africa, to examine river health based on water and sediment quality, while using macroinvertebrates as bioindicators for pollution.

In the Johor River Basin, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on 24 water environmental parameters across 33 sampling sites over 3 years, encompassing both dry and wet seasons. A total of 396 water samples were collected and analyzed to calculate the Water Quality Index (WQI). To further assess water quality and pinpoint potential pollution sources, multivariate techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA), alongside spatial analysis using inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation, were employed.
